Printer will not print automatically. I have to hit the OK button
Every time I print a page or pages, I get a message saying Load Tray 1 or press OK to use available media.
When I hit OK the printer will only print one page, then it takes several seconds before I can hit OK again to print another page.
This is extremely time consuming if I want several pages of the same document printed and it tends to happen using the TQRCompositeReport component.
Answer
The print job from the driver is set to print on a specific media.
The first thing to do is decide what paper size you really want to print on:
- letter size paper is used in America, but in very few other places;
- most of the rest of the world standardizes on A4 paper size.
The standard QuickReport component has the Page->PaperSize property to control media size:
The composite report component allows many reports to be combined into a single document (via the 'AddReports' event).
The "problem" is that the TQRCompositeReport component has its own media size:
The default value for PaperSize is Letter and it doesn't matter if every single report you add has a A4 size: the composite report keeps the default value.
So choose the correct media size and check the correspondence among the PaperSize values.
